CINCO DE MaYO

Our climate is shifting. This summer will hopefully be one to be remembered for warm weather and epic swell. We've all got a bank account filled with waves because we've all been ripped off this winter season. That's fine with me though, I've got a good feeling about summer / fall. As for this spring......all I can say is flatness for another week and skatepark weather is prime. Tiverton just got a new park.....not sure if it's any good yet. Thinking about a trek to Greenside skatepark next rainy day. Happy Cinco De Mayo! FNP will be cutting loose in Providence at the Westminster St. celebration starting @ 4pm today. T shirts coming soon. Stay tuned.

Instincts....

It doesn't take much to be overwhelmed by "the decision". Phones ring off the hook and blow up with text messages from various eyewitness reports pulling you in 3 separate directions at once.....it's enough to make you pull the hair from your scalp! Planned on going way north. After 2hrs in the car already and a road sign for a spot I've wanted to check for years randomly appearing at the same instance that I got the call ,"It's way too big up here, all over the place, we're going to NH" - nesurfadventures, I made a hard right and started east to find these gems. Size was roughly chest-2' OH super steep, fast A frame grinders. Peeling for 100-200 yards. I was on my own. Long live GPS systems! My gut guided me the rest of the way to 3-2hour mind blowing sessions. Experiencing a new break when it is in it's prime is quite the gift.

There's still surf in regions of N.E. today. Charge it!



Frothing......

We exchanged epic winter swell for a 40-50 degree avg. Feb.?

We never got a choice.

It's been nice

but I sure do prefer falling onto a liquid ramp

versus

eating shit

on a 13ft vert ramp

This has not been a poem.

Get on that!

7:00AM Sunday morning. Woke up. Coastguard cam looked like blown out garbage. Debated. Rhode Island looked like a lake. Attempted to motivate. Went back to sleep. Phone buzzed. 9:30AM WAVES in strange places I was told. An hour later I was surfing somewhere most will never.  Good day of travel, hunting, and scores. ?? Gotta love it. Most say So. Shore, MA is under rated..... I'd say it has it's days.

Some Secrets are best kept that way....

Through the Iris of the Sun

We are all merely reflections. Vibrations. Waves of energy. The structural composition of an atom is proportionately scale to that of our solar system. That is, in fact, the distance from electrons, nuclei, etc. is proportional to that of the distance of planets to our sun. Strange to think of it. We are part of an ongoing wave. Why do huge storms happen? Is it all just a coincidence or could it be OUR expectations manifesting into an epic swell event? Our minds, our thoughts are the film to this projection of reality. Similar vibrations are naturally drawn together in our Universe There are many nay sayers out there which confide in the comfort of societical views of "what is supposed to be possible" vs. "What COULD be possible". Maybe there are limitless possibilites. Maybe OUR minds are truly the one precious posession we have in this. KNOW the storm will come. KNOW the swell will be. Know you can fly. Believe you can make that barrel section.

Caged and burning for a shred sesh.

Secret Stash:

We all have one or two of our slabby secrets tucked away for that oh so special swell angle when everywhere else is less than mediocre...it's gems like this wave that keeps my hunger for exploration alive. Biggest payout I've had in years. Shot this after a 2.5hr session. Unfortunately I forgot my water housing so all you get to see is the aftermath of a 2.5hr barrel spree I won't soon forget. Not the best photo....but your mind can do the rest of the work. Wave starts slow and rollie then the face steps down into a steep wall of intense tubeness. Most waves didn't look makeable until you put on the gas and checked into the pocket.


Somewhere between Montauk, NY and Portland, ME

CENSORED!

Cabin Fever

get out And skate! Then surf!

W. T. F. !?!?

I'm not complaining. Personally the weather has been phenominal. Why are you reading this? I'm caged in a 6 x 8 foot cube until 5 p.m. every weekday. Sure I could squeeze a dawn session in, then again, buisiness and wetsuit stench don't mesh in too well. Hope everyone has been scoring. For the first time in my life I have the neccessity of being a "weekend warrior". I'm not happy about it but that just means training after work. Here's to long hours of Skateboarding and Yoga all for the betterment of my mind, body, soul, and surfing.
       I saw 60 degrees today 12/22/11 and THIS IS PHENOMINAL. All we are missing is a freakish Indo-esk swell event teamed with warm winds. The weather is shot. The surf HASN'T been huge and I am fiending for an insanely large faced wave to ride.

.....Not bad for my first day of vacation in nearly a year and a half....
